Detailed explanation-1: -Alleles and Inheritance Their feather color is specified by the more-dominant of the two alleles: ‘ash-red’ is dominant to ‘blue’, which is dominant to ‘brown’. Females have just one color allele. Whatever allele that copy is specifies their feather color.
Detailed explanation-2: -While feathers are often considered a by-product of poultry production (and often a waste by-product), some producers raise poultry specifically for their feathers. Feathers are used in a number of decorative products such as boas, feather fans, masks, costume accessories, bird ornaments, and even earrings and flowers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Frizzle feathers have been described in domesticated birds and established as varietal characteristics in domestic chickens [18], [43]. The contour feathers of the frizzle chicken all curl outward and upward. Due to an altered feather rachis structure and morphology, they cannot lie flat against the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -These traits include comb type, feather color, shank/foot color, and skin color.
